I am Hungry and tired. And I am waiting for my exam result in the Salthouse. At least there are some computers around me. ;)
I am seeing my posts becoming single-minded lately. Only school stuff. Well I need to pass my exams and all my thoughts are about this at the moment, so sorry for not being creative enough, I hope it will and soon. (with my exam-period of course :)
However having exams is only one of the challenges I am currently facing. Travelling is adventurous these days as well. Since 30-40 centimetres of snow fell and the temperature is constantly below fifteen degrees Celsius our railway company ceased to work normally. It is outrageous what we have at stations. Trains have more than two hours of delays. A day before yesterday the railway itself broke between Szolnok and Budapest. Not to mention the trains running without any heating. So currently if you want to travel by train here you are advised to pack many warm clothes and food for the extremely long travel time. And be not too sure that you arrive at all.
I haven’t mentioned this here earlier but I have seen The Two Towers on January 9. This is one of the few movies that make me tingle in anticipation. And finally after a long year I could immerse in the miraculous world of Middle Earth again. I don’t think I can go in any details of the film. Firstly because it is too dense in feelings that I have only scenes flashing in my mind. Like the departure of elves from Rivendell in the dead of the night, or the horses galloping on the endless plains of Rohan. Every second of the movie is a wonder. And secondly because I don’t want to ruin your best three hours in this year. :)
It is a pity that my humble knowledge of this language prevents me from putting the experience this film offers in words.
I am tired to think, that is the truth. I have thoughts circling around my mind but I am too tired to catch them and put them in words. Sometimes this happens, most likely after learning maths. ;) Apart from learning I didn’t do much only played some AO where my little she-fixer and my brother’s crat reached the level of 29. Yay.
Remember, that I promised a translation? It is ready since quite a time but I will need to format it and create a downloadable PDF version as well. So expect it after my exam-period.
It has been snowing all the day and the wind blows fiercely. Blizzard is out there and I don’t know how will I be able to get to budapest for tomorrow even. Trains have hours of delays. I may spend the night on one of them. I just love weather… What if I had a peaceful and successful exam for once?? ;(
The sun is still shining, and the snow remained. It is cold outside with a nasty icy wind. However from the inside it looks very calm and nice. While going to Budapest I was just staring out of the window of the carriage admiring the snow-covered nature. And at 11:30AM I failed my analysis exam. As a matter of fact the failure is not official yet, as it was a written exam and the results will be available only tomorrow. However I am absolutely positive I failed. I simply didn’t solve enough problems to get the sufficient points to pass.
There are two exams in a semester. Both written and worth 50 points. 40 points are to be gathered to pass (from the 2 exams summed up) but neither of the exams can be worse than 15 points. I had 30 points on the first one, but now I am sure in 5 points only… and that is much less than needed.
This is not unique at all: my best friend says he won’t have any points at all. I am not alone.
Today is so better than the days before. I can’t exactly explain why. I feel some kind of harmony around me. Maybe the snow has something to do with it. It has been snowing since the crack of dawn. And it snows heavily. It stopped for an hour or so, but it started again as soon as my father was ready with shoveling the snow from the pavement in front of our house.
I am planning to play some AO after lunch. My cute she-fixer kind of r00lz. :) Thanks to the Chemical Maussers I got from Spindizzy and to the mezz my brother’s crat has no mob can frighten us two. It is really fun.
I do hope this feeling of flying in happiness (no, I don’t smoke pot, hehe) remains for tomorrow’s exam as well. As I was told: there is great potential in me. I must show it is true.
Not much to tell today. I learned some maths and played some AO. I have certain fears about the upcoming maths exam, but as pessimistic attitude never helps, I don’t say a word. As for AO my brother started a crat (his ever-favourite prof) so I went for a fixer. By the way I am thinking about a page on this site that would contain my characters. Well after exam-period I guess.
Do you beleive in horoscopes? I sometimes read my horoscope in the papers just out of curiosity. If it predicts a good day/week for me it fills me with satisfaction while if it says my future is dark I can simply say: horoscopes are not true. Today’s horoscope promised me success and joy all over the day, and for today’s keyword it selected dignity.
As for the painful truth nothing happened the way I wanted today, I wasn’t succesful in anything I had today and I was more a fool than a dignified person. In the morning I woke up early to catch the train to Budapest for I had a Sociology exam as you might already know. On my way to the train station I was running to a bus when due to the ice-covered pavement I fell on my back… right into a puddle. My suit got wet and dirty all over. (remember the keyword: dignity!?)
Luckily my trousers somewhat got dry during the train trip. (The train had a 20 minutes delay.) When I arrived to the university I went to check out where my exam wiould be. To my great surprise I didn’t have an exam at 9AM but 2PM as the paper said. (The exam started at 9AM but there were groups arranged and I was in the 2AM group.)
Well, what could I do in a dirty suit with a whole morning available. I played cool guy and went to the cinema. :) I watched Sweet Home Alabama. I had great fun and I think this was the top of my day which I didn’t know that time…
The exam gone very bad. I didn’t seem to know what I knew even. I was scaringly dumb.
So what is the moral of this story? Well I should have learned more. I shouldn’t have ran to catch the bus when I knew the pavement was slippery. I should have asked one of my friends to ceck out the exam paper for me so that I could have known exacly when would have I my exam. All in all, I sucked today bigtime. :(
I am in the just-before-exam state. Tomorrow I will have my very first oral exam at my university in Sociology. I have learned a lot - to my standards - so I think it will go smoothly. The only thing to care about is evade black cats. :)
As I am not the kind who can sit and learn for 8 hours I also played AO yesterday. I think one needs breaks between learning periods. We played with my brother again and we reached the title level of Worker and Medic. Hooray! :) And later at night I played Jagie on my brother’s Atlon XP 1700+ with GeForce 440MX. Man, that was awesome! Flying over Old Athen in CF Parrot I could have a wide view over the whole city with all the towers and buildings. The horizon did not end with a blurred gaseous cloud like on my computer but all the objects in the distance were visible. And there was only the netlag not any graphics lag like on my humble celeron. I didn’t know AO was this beautiful!
